Hi all, as you may or may not know, I got the M26 "Dragon Wagon" for Christmas, and I am planning to incorporate it with the Waffentrager that I'm also making -they will probably be parked on the side of a highway somewhere with the waffentrager being towed back to Britain for "testing purposes". Here's some pics (i haven't done much yet though):    The tires had seams running down them from when they were cast (wouldn't have been there in the real vehicle, as the tread would have been worn down by use), so I fixed them:    Before and after:  That's all so far. Thanks for looking! -Oliver |

Great job with the tires... they look much more realistic now.

Thanks for the comments guys . It may take a while to complete, but I'll post whenever I get time to work on it! About the tires, It's nice having a dad who you can hijack tools from all the time  (I moved the grindstone to my desk for the duration of the seam removal). I managed to get some more work done on the trailer. Pics:         It's getting there . I will most likely not do any work on it tomorrow, as I work from 1-4 and have to finish up my science project (the writeup is all I have to do now). Hope you like it! -Oliver |

Thanks, guys . I got some more work in today, and, as it is the only project that I can work on until I get an extractor fan to enable me to AB, I will probably work on it quite a bit more. Progress may be slow though, as I have exams this week and next, and have 3 rather then 2 shifts at the library (where I work) this week. Anyhow, here's the pics:      The wheels are just temporarily attached (no glue) for now. Thanks for looking! -Oliver |

Nice trailer work. The effort you put into sanding all those tyres really pays off, they look much better. |

Looks good. And it's nice that you have some place to put something that big. Or didn't you think of that before you started? ;D

Thanks, everyone! It's coming along nicely, albeit at at a slow pace. I got a bit more work done today. @ Wing_nut, I hadn't though about space when I got it, but luckily I just modified an old Ping-Pong table to be a 2nd desk for me:  I had to make some brackets from sheet metal:  Now for the trailer. I worked on the end that's near the cab:    As usual, thanks for looking! -Oliver |

Making good progress on this one Oliver. It's like eating an elephant, just move ahead one step at a time and you'll get there in the end.
